Online Media in Georgia: A Bastion for Democracy

Georgia's free media is under increasing pressure from the ruling Georgian Dream party, highlighting the need for preservation through national and international cooperation to ensure access to free information.

Since spring 2024, Georgia has been embroiled in a political crisis. The Georgian Dream party's reintroduction and adoption of the "Foreign Agents" law, followed by contentious parliamentary elections and the decision to halt the EU accession process, have deepened societal polarization.

The ruling Georgian Dream party's actions have led to a deeply polarized society.
